  Author(s): Manuel JTMManuel JTM
  
  Recent resurgence on natural dye production and application is observed due to increasing popularity of more natural lifestyle based on naturally sustainable goods. Natural dyes from flora and fauna are viable alternatives to synthetic dyes. Studies shows that Talisay (Terminalia catappa) leaves are good sources of natural colorant producing green, yellow and black pigments, depending on the freshness of the leaves. To compete with the synthetic dyes, availability and storage stability of the natural colorants are desired. Spray drying technique is used to address such problem; wherein the liquid extract is converted to its powder form. Storage stability of the powdered dye depends on the spray drying condition used during operation. Hence, to optimize spray drying process, understanding the storage characteristic of the powdered natural dye is desired. In this study, the storage char.. Read More»
